Donald Trump said he would order his administration to raise the secret government records related to the disappearance of American aviation in 1937.

The US President on social media wrote on Friday that the story of Erhart, which disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean, “captured millions”, wrote the American president on social media on Friday.

Erhart’s disappearance during an attempt to move around the world has led to many theories – from a slight collision due to the fuel exhaustion to more detailed calls for Japanese capture or American government spy.

While some FBI files and maritime research reports have been lifted over the decades, some records have been unable to reach them, which leads to strengthening speculation about covering up.

Erhart disappeared while trying to fly all over the world, in an attempt to reach the island of Hugland in the Pacific Ocean for fuel.

The official interpretation is that it did not find the island, lost communication and ran out of fuel, only to break the ocean.

Although this is a largely acceptable version of events, there is no evidence – as in debris – to support it.

“She has disappeared in the South Pacific as she was trying to become the first woman to fly all over the world,” Trump said. “Amelia made nearly three quarters around the world before it suddenly disappeared, and without notice, it disappeared, it cannot be seen again.”

The other two theories are that Erhart was destroyed on or near the Marshall Islands, or that it reached the island of Nicomauru near Kiribati and died in a pariah there.

There is no conclusive evidence for any of these theories – but this did not prevent professional amateurs and historians from searching for them.

He initially believed parts of a skeleton found in Nikomauru in 1940, but doctors at that time decided that they belonged to a male body.

According to Trump, the documents that will be removed from secrecy and release will include “all government records related to Emilia Erhart, their last journey, and everything else about them.”

The interest in its case – including attempts to locate the plane – remained strong after eight decades.

Last year, Some researchers said They may have found the long -lost Erhart plane.

The sonar photography, which set the ocean bottom using sound waves, led the researchers to what they claimed to be a small plane.

This discovery was discovered in about 4,877 meters (16,000 feet) from the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

In 2022, a series of events took place in Derry to celebrate Anniversary 90 From the historical Erhart Atlantic downfall.
